Fisk Descender™ is the simplest, most effective descent control system ever designed - it's easy to trust a system designed for durability, thermal capacity and smooth flow
Gentle flow for 19" of working line to pass through the descender
Large radius for smoother descent
Less wear to the working line
Reduction in rope hockling and torsional twist
Durable 304 stainless steel construction
Order 1205000 rope separately, last three digits in part number signify length
Meets or exceeds all industry requirements including OSHA and ANSI.
Made from 304 stainless steel and investment cast for strength.
The patented design offers gentle flow for 19 inches of working line to pass through the descender over a larger radii found in other products on the market. This design offers less wear to the working line, reduction in rope hockling, and torsional twist. The 304 stainless steel was chosen because of its durability and greater thermal capacity over other materials (ie. aluminum), thus reducing the temperature increase of the unit during a descent.

CMI NFPA Rack

CMI Sport Racks are formed from 3/8" diameter stainless steel and are fitted with oversize stainless steel bars. We chose stainless steel over aluminum because of its "wearever" qualities. In order to compensate for the reduced friction inherent in stainless bars, we increased the radius of the friction surface to a full 1/2". The result is a longer wearing bar with maximum control. With the "open back" style of the bars featured on CMI Rappel Racks, improper rigging is easier to spot which aids in accident avoidance.
CMI Rescue Racks are designed along the lines of the original "super rack." They come pre-rigged with six bars, five straight slotted stainless steel and an oversize aluminum top bar to aid in locking off.
